U.S. Politics: That's too bad for Carrots

This is ridiculous speculation that reads almost exactly like your bullshit about how Biden was going to pick Clinton as his VP. Only this time, it wasn't even spurred by something like an op ed by an obvious Republican hack, but a misheard comment.

I linked a Politico article and explained that initially, I wasn't thinking about the AG position, but that Biden's campaign has floated it before. So...quit crying?

Hey, hey! I reported that last night! They were pretty sarcastic about him last night on CNN. They said something about a “130 day window” which I didn’t understand, maybe DMC or Fez can explain.

It has something to do with how he was appointed and sorry that I missed your post. However, don't doubt that Trump would put him back in a similar position if he had won the election. In fact, the way everything thinks during Trump eras, he'd probably get put in charge of HHS or the like.

It just means he was under Special Government Employee status, which is aimed as a temporary mechanism to employ experts.  The 130 day window is often extended, it's more of a good faith guideline than an enforced rule.  Here's a description of SGEs:

Quote

Congress created the SGE category in 1962 when it revised the criminal conflict of interest statutes. Congress recognized the need to apply appropriate conflict of interest restrictions to experts, consultants, and other advisers who serve the Government on a temporary basis. On the other hand, Congress also determined that the Government cannot obtain the expertise it needs if it requires experts to forego their private professional lives as a condition of temporary service. Since 1962, the SGE category has been used in a number of statutes and regulations as a means of tailoring the applicability of some restrictions.

An attorney for the Trump campaign on Monday issued a call for violence against Chris Krebs, a former cybersecurity official who was unceremoniously ousted from his post by President Donald Trump after he rejected the President's unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud.

Joe diGenova, an attorney for Trump's campaign, said during an appearance on "The Howie Carr Show": "Anybody who thinks the election went well, like that idiot Krebs who used to be the head of cybersecurity. That guy is a class A moron. He should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot."

Is there any legal recourse you can take when someone is literally calling for your death?  Or do you have to wait until someone tries to kill you, like with Gabby Giffords?

All of this the nazis' learning curve rehearsal and prep for taking over 2024 pres. election, learning what works and where the weaknesses are, and everything else necessary for 100% take-over.

Not saying They shall be 100% successful, but not saying They're going to fail either -- particularly with four years howling with no oversight, a complicit media, a trashed economy, cascading climate catastrophes and the sheer destruction of at least 18 months of uncontrolled covid-19 burning the USA.

Stories like this one should be run constantly on every sort of media, what it is really like to have covid-19, and what it is really like to have to treat the nazis -- literally nazis --  who have it.  Maybe then people will finally accept there is no other choice than complete lock down.

A food writer's description of his descent into near death from covid-19:

All the experts say this is going to be increasing beyond anything anyone is imagining with Thanksgiving travel and Christmas and New Year's, and parties, parties, parties of every kind, at home and in warehouses and churches: because people refuse to admit to the slightest inconvenience for any time whatsoever.  This species is too horrible to survive, clearly.

With vaccines and a new administration, the pandemic will be tamed. But experts say the coming months “are going to be just horrible.”

The Justice Department hasn't found evidence to support allegations of widespread fraud that could have changed the result of last month's presidential election, Attorney General William Barr said in an interview with the Associated Press published Tuesday.

"To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election," Barr said.

 

Barr, who prior to the election echoed President Donald Trump's claims that mail-in voting wasn't secure, said both the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have looked into claims of fraud and come up empty.

 

"There's been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results," Barr said. "And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven't seen anything to substantiate that."

Bro, try to keep up. Earlier today on Reddit I learned that Bill Barr is actually a slimy liberal cuck and always has been. Also that the FBI (the FBI!) is a hardcore liberal activist organization.

I dunno about legal recourse, but the bar association should be holding a disbarment hearing and he should be expelled from the bar with extreme prejudice.

OTOH, Barr has appointed John Durham as a special counsel, which will make it harder for Biden's AG to fire him. His purview has been narrowed considerably, to just be investigating the conduct of the FBI agents who participated in the Russia investigations. But it's still extremely annoying.
